The remarkable story of the architecture and interior design of Americas most famous country inn and restaurant. The transformation of the internationally acclaimed Inn at Little Washington from a rural garage into a sumptuous country house hotel reads like an enchanted fairy tale. Legendary chef and owner Patrick OConnell tells the story of how this property was reimagined with a team of skilled designers and architects. The inn, which opened in 1978, is considered a masterpiece in American hotel and restaurant design and has expanded to include not only the original main building, but an entire village of cottages, guesthouses, and gardens. British interior designer Joyce Conwy Evans collaborated with OConnell in creating the sensational English-style ambience. Lavishly photographed and enhanced by Conwy Evanss watercolor renderings, this gorgeous book features luxurious guest rooms, stunning bathrooms, exquisite tabletop vignettes, floral arrangements, and displays of art, which will inspire every home decorator.
